Rate |
First 5 hours |
$9.40 per hour |
Subsequent hours |
$14 per hour |
Cindy worked there 8 hours a day for 12 days in August. How much did the boutique pay her?
Amount that the boutique paid Cindy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 9.40
= $47
Duration that Cindy worked after the first 5 hours
= 8 - 5
= 3 h
Amount that the boutique paid Cindy for the next 3 hours
= 3 x 14
= $42
Amount that the boutique paid Cindy per day
= 47 + 42
= $89
Amount that the boutique paid Cindy for 12 days
= 12 x 89
= $1068
Answer(s): $1068
